this is cool, but for someone who actually wants to rip songs off spotify, why would you do this instead of use audio hijack? is there some advantage?

- MichaelGG 12y agoAs mentioned in another comment, if you do this you get the original compressed file. If you capture the audio and then want to recompress it, you'll introduce artifacts. Although, it seems to me that an intelligent compressor could perfectly recompress the audio back to the original form.
- KMag 12y agoThis presumes that downsampling in either bit depth or sample rate isn't happening somewhere (such as your audio drivers) between decompressing the audio and where you're capturing the audio.
- lucb1e 12y agoAt the very least it makes a good demo for a technique that could be applied in other situations. Or even just the hack value (see the jargon file). Many things have value in some indirect way.
